The Cabinet has endorsed the stance presented by Foreign Affairs Minister Vijitha Herath at the 57th UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) session, running from 9th September to 11th October, 2024, in Geneva. Sri Lanka firmly rejected the proposed draft resolution and continues to oppose UNHRC's Resolution 51/1, particularly the extension of the external evidence collection mechanism.
Despite this, the government remains committed to addressing human rights issues through local mechanisms and reconciliation efforts. Cabinet has also reached an agreement to emphasize Sri Lanka’s willingness to continue cooperative and meaningful discussions with the UNHRC.
